Zachariah definitely has a cool factor. I'm not fond of Zechariah. While it may be more authentic than Zachariah, it makes me think of the word / sound / grunt "blech." So. Zachariah gmv.

Zeke could work well as a nn for Zechariah. Very clever. How about Cary as a nickname for Zachariah? Or is that too "feminine" too? I can see either Zachariah or Zechariah as a brother to Cordelia. Those are parents I'd like to hang out with. I try not to think about what kind of personality X or Y would have. A name is a window into the parents' souls, not the child's. Other names you both might like:

---

Zebulon -- Zeb
Zephaniah -- Zef
Zacarias -- Cary, ("za-cah-REE-us"), such flair
Zaccheus -- although the only nickname I can think of is Zack :0(
Nehemiah
Bartimeus -- Bart, Tim
Bartholomew -- Bart, Tolly
Melchior -- Mel, magical name
Menassah -- Manny
Ishmael -- Izzy
Joachim -- Joe, Kim

---

Bartolomea -- "bahr-to-lo-MAY-uh" nn Mae
Mehetabel -- a cool, witchy vibe
Casimira / Kazimira -- Mira
Zosima -- Zosi, Zoë, Mimi, "ZO-see-muh" (see: Zosimus)
Hepzibah
Raphaela
Jacobina / Jacomina -- Jackie, Coco, Mina, Minnie

Happy hunting! :0)
